Wolves ready to maul competition, says Ike ThankGod

Warri Wolves centre-back, Ike ThankGod, has stated that he and his teammates are in the right frame of mind and raring to go when the new League campaign kicks off on the proposed date of March 9.

The powerfully built defender told supersport.com that the team are primed for success this season and they have received positive vibes from the Delta state governor who urged the team to emulate their teammates Chigozie Agbim, Azubuike Egwuekwe and Sunday Mba who brought glory to the team by winning the African Cup of Nations.

“We are prepared and ready to go, the team is motivated and the state governor, His excellency Emmanuel Uduaghan is solidly behind us,” he said.

“I personally want to have a good season and do my best to be part of the home-based Super Eagles set-up,” ThankGod added.

ThankGod, who scored six goals from his defensive position says his target is 10 goals.

“I scored six goals last season all from open play, I want to better that this forthcoming season, if I can get 10 goals I’ll be glad,” said the defender.

Thankgod was also full of praise for his Warri Wolves teammates that were part of the Super Eagles team to South Africa 2013.

“Sunday (Mba), Azubuike ( Egwuekwe) and Chigozie ( Agbim) have done very well and shown that we ( home based players) can do well if given the chance, all we need is a chance to prove ourselves,” he said.
